Abstract EN

The effects of dietary protein and fat on renal function-related blood and urine parameters, such as albumin, urinary protein,and inflammatory cytokines were investigated in adriamycin- (ADR) induced nephrotic syndrome rats.

ADR (2 mg/kg BW) was injected i.p.

weekly for six weeks to develop nephrotic syndrome; thereafter rats were fed low-protein/high-fat (LPHF) or high-protein/low-fat (HPLF) diets for five weeks.

Renal function-related blood and urine parameters were measured before and after dietary intervention.

Serum levels of albumin, TG, and creatinine were significantly higher in the LPHF group than in the HPLF group.

Serum levels of albumin were low and urinary protein excretion protein was high in HPLF group.

BUN and UUN levels were higher in the HPLF group than in the LPHF.

Urinary excretion of creatinine was significantly higher in the HPLF group than in the LPHF group.

Serum inflammatory cytokine levels did not differ between the two groups, however the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-13 in splenocyte supernatants were significantly higher in the LPHF group than in the HPLF group.

We confirmed that protein and fat contents in diet affect renal function-related blood and urine parameters and splenocyte inflammatory cytokine levels in ADR-induced nephrotic syndrome rats.
